Dash dieet

Sign up now. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that men limit alcohol to no more than two drinks a day and women to one or less. By including plenty of healthy whole foods each day, you naturally eliminate some of the not-so-great foods like added sugars and unhealthy fats.

Almonds, sunflower seeds, kidney beans, peas, lentils and other foods in this family are good sources of magnesium, potassium and protein. However, those who have lost weight on the DASH diet have been in a controlled calorie deficit — meaning they were told to eat fewer calories than they were expending.
